“I was very fortunate, growing up in a game reserve,” says Sharon James – who has always been an entrepreneur at heart. “At the age of 14, my gran taught me to knit on her knitting machine, so over weekends I would knit five black jerseys for the local schools and then pay my gran to sew them up for me. That way I made good pocket money.”
Sharon is always thinking of better ways to tackle things, or better ways to make things work. “My husband and I live to travel. We are constantly on the lookout for a good special or somewhere different,” she says. “It was on one of these trips, in 2016, that we were on a long layover in Dubai and a family came and sat next to us. They had made their own suitcase cotton covers, the idea then resonated in the pit of my stomach and I googled case covers.”
Back home, with the help of her sister Jenny, who is a designer, the prototype was made. “I travelled with it and saw where the problem areas were. I have changed the design slightly four times, and now we are happy.”
Case Closed offers unique suitcase covers, making your luggage easily identifiable on the conveyor belt. “No one will take your case by accident, it discourages theft, and protects suitcases from scratches and general travel damage. It’s a lightweight stretch fabric which fits most cases, offers fun designs – and lovely corporate branding and personalised covers are also available. Last but not least, no plastic is used – the covers are washable and reusable.”
“It takes a village to raise a child, I have surrounded myself with a group of people who each specialise in their field – from my website designer and social media family, to my graphics lady, the printers, the CMT factory, and last but not least Doreen who does quality control and packs each order. I could not run this business without all of them,” says Sharon.
